Wounded Memory and Historical Trauma in the Literature of Equatorial Guinea. Donato Ndongo Bidyogo’s Works The article, based on the example of Donato Ndongo Bidyogo’s works, presents two aspects of Equatorial Guinean literature, namely memory and trauma. They are crucial for the understanding of this still young literature, written in Spanish. The consideration of selected issues developed by contemporary Equatoguinean writers gives the country’s literature a specifi c character. A refl ection on the dramatic past and the diffi cult present is its recurring motif. The article is divided into four parts. The fi rst part presents a theoretical refl ection on the concept of Paul Ricouer’s “wounded memory” used in the text. The second analyses the so-called traumatic discourse in literature, and attempts to fi nd the distinction between a traumatic event and a traumatising experience. The third part of the article presents the issues of Equatoguinean historical traumas and sketches the literary landscape of the country. The article focuses on literary strategies of collective projection, wounded memory of Equatorial Guineans and the issue of the (im)possibility of mapping trauma in literature. The last part of the text presents literary examples of the phenomena discussed in the literature of Donato Ndongo Bidyogo.

Colorectal cancer is a common disease, representing the third and second most common cause of cancer death in the United States in women and men, respectively. [Ahnen et al.: Mayo Clin Proc 2014;89: 216–224; Siegel et al.: CA Cancer J Clin 2016;66: 7]. It is estimated that 20% of patients have distant metastatic disease at time of diagnosis [Ahnen et al.: Mayo Clin Proc 2014;89: 216–224; Siegel et al.: CA Cancer J Clin 2016;66: 7]. The most common metastatic sites include regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and peritoneum via lymphatic/hematogenous dissemination as well as contiguous and transperitoneal routes [Ahnen et al.: Mayo Clin Proc 2014;89: 216–224; Siegel et al.: CA Cancer J Clin 2016;66: 7]. Upon review of the literature, we found that metastatic colon cancer to the scrotum is rare. The following case report proved to be a unique example of this type of metastasis. This rare regional metastasis is theorized to have resulted from a colo-urethro-scrotal fistula that precipitated from the patient’s prior traumatic event.

The present paper is divided into three large steps around the themes of spirit possession and the historical imagination of slavery in Cuba. These three steps reflect both ethnographic dimensions of these themes and broader theoretical approaches towards them. The last step, ‘apomimesis’, is the one proposed by the author, not by way of replacement but displace­ment. The first step, ‘formulaic’ historical imagination, covers the ground of a direct expression of slavery as historical trauma through spirit possession. The second step, ‘mimesis’, displaces the first by adding into it the possibility of reversal, of empowerment, the slave becoming an anti-slave. The third creates another simultaneous condition. Through the negative dialectics of apomimesis the non-slave emerges.

Work book is one of the principal necessities in the process<br />of teaching and learning second language. A comprehensive work-<br />book will work as step-by-step guidance both for the teacher and<br />students; teacher will know what to do to transfer the knowledge<br />effectively within very limited time constraint; and students will be<br />provided clear clue to comprehend required materials and acquire<br />the necessary skills. Without work book, teacher will have to think<br />and work harder in every meeting to measure their students’ needs<br />and adapt the materials to their comprehension capacity.<br />Third semester students of English Teaching Department of<br />IAIN Antasari Banjarmasin can be classifi ed as beginning learners<br />of English. For most students who live in a non-speaking English<br />country such as Indonesia, listening skill is diffi cult to comprehend.<br />Listening skills is seen not only as something valuable for its<br />own sake but as something that supports the growth of other as-<br />pects of language use, such as speaking and reading. The assump-<br />tions of teaching listening as comprehension are: listening serves<br />the goal of extracting meaning from messages, the learners have to be taught how to use both bottom up and top down processes in<br />arriving at an understanding of messages, and the language of ut-<br />terances used by speakers are temporary carriers of meaning. Once<br />meaning has been identifi ed there is no further need to attend to the<br />form of messages.<br />Students have problems to catch the actual sounds of the for-<br />eign language; understand every word which make them feel wor-<br />ried and stressed; understand fast, natural native-sounding speech;<br />keep up with all the information they get and they cannot predict.<br />To overcome these problems teachers can help students by teach<br />them how to improve their listening through some skills and teach<br />the students by using media.<br />Dealing with the purpose of this research in developing work-<br />book for English listening class, the suitable design for this research<br />is research and development (R&amp;D).

The third chapter examines how stones serve as witnesses to historical trauma in Adalbert Stifter’s realist novellas collected in Many-colored Stones, how attempts to downplay those histories and their shocking materialism only make stone even more menacing, and how the susceptibility of those stones and histories to erosion informs his stories’ susceptibility to revision. Rather than the novellas appropriating the obdurate quality of stone and then conveying this emblem of persistence onto the decidedly more fluid familial and societal institutions, those stories within stone convey a recapitulation of their own impermanence and formal incompleteness. Relatedly, the dispersed plotting and dissipated eventfulness of Stifter’s stories, particularly where they deal with the appearance of the stone, are read as a form of engagement with the problem of reading and perceiving at earth magnitude and moreover on a far more dynamic and vibrant planet than he or his contemporaries were willing to acknowledge.

 In study was conducted analysis and systematic studies of war syndromes, the end of the 20th and early 21st centuries ("Vietnamese syndrome", "Persian Gulf syndrome", "Afghan syndrome," etc.).  For the first time are presented the systemic symptoms of the hybrid war syndrome (hybrid conflict) on the basis of the analysis, the application of the method of historical analogies, comparison, systematization and interpretation of facts, abstraction and concretization.  For the first time, the presence of the following stages of its development in the process of formation of PTSD has been proven: the "pre-PTSD", the latent phase "soft PTSD" (which already takes place, but obviously does not manifest itself and can be detected only by instrumental (hardware) methods) and "formed PTSD" (as a rule, one that is completely formed, clearly manifested, stable, multisymptomatic, and deployed, which, in the absence of its timely detection and treatment, is more likely to be transformed into a post-traumatic personality disorder). The issues of informational and cognitive trauma of personnel and population were considered on the basis of the analysis of the striking factors of information and cognitive weapons and the peculiarities of their salvage in the Hybrid War. We identified and described in our model of formation of PTSD in the context of the hybrid war "zero" - "entry into military service" stage and the three main stages of the emergence and formation of the PTSD.  The first stage is "preparatory": Phases: 1) General training;  2) training in the units in the conditions most close to combat (primary "Vaccinations" from PTSD);  3) Combat coordination of units (secondary "Vaccinations" from PTSD). The second stage of "stay in the crisis zone": 1) phase - sending to the area of military action; 2) participation in military action; 3) retirement. The third stage "Return from the combat zone". Particular emphasis should be put on other models of PTSD formation in specialists who do not take direct participation in battles, but are in a state of high nervous-psychological stress. Stress is due the influence of responsibility for the effectiveness of use in the area of military action or in the enemy territory of high-cost, high-tech means on which the effectiveness of action depends  in general, and the lives of combatants (for example, LAC crews and, in particular, UAV operators (2nd model) and military pilots flying aircraft (airplanes / helicopters) (3rd moth  model). The first and second stages of the formation of PTSD in them are similar to the above-mentioned one model of the formation of PTSD. Differences with the 1st model and between the second and third models develop in the third stage.  It has also been established that PTSD may occur immediately after a traumatic event, or can lead to a negative long-term symptom and show symptoms that are sufficient for the diagnosis of PTSD (or the conditions / illness associated with it), even over the years.

Episemion krystallinoron sp. nov., the second species in this formerly monotypic genus, is described from the Monts de Cristal in northwestern Gabon and adjacent areas in Equatorial Guinea. It is clearly distinguished from its congener by the coloration pattern of adult males. Species status is also supported by mitochondrial DNA data. Episemion Radda & Pürzl, 1987 is regarded as a valid genus, distinct from all other nothobranchiid genera and probably most closely related to Diapteron Huber & Seegers, 1977 and Kathetys Huber, 1977. It is the third described endemic nothobranchiid species from the Monts de Cristal and adjacent areas.

This paper regards traumatized formation of characters’ identities in Virginia Woolf’s (1882-1941) The Waves (1931). Trauma is considered as a devastating phenomenon which has horribly and dreadfully some effects on an individual’s self and identity. The aftereffects of a shocking and traumatic event on one’s sense of self contribute extremely to the collapse of the construction of his or her identity. Undoubtedly, the different sorts of trauma, like individual and historical trauma, have incorporated Woolf’s life. Actually, Woolf’s disoriented self is defined based on the affective representation of her traumatized identity through her painful experiences over her lifetime. This paperfocuses on Cathy Caruth’s (1955-) critical views concerning the concept of trauma. Caruth believes that trauma is a mental wound associated with the latency, referring to the return of the traumatic experiences after a period of delay or deja vuin the form of repeated flashbacks, nightmares, and so forth. In The Waves, the male and female characters like Bernard, Neville, Louis, Rhoda, Jinny, and Susan are traumatized due to a number of traumatic events, so that the construction of their identities can be trapped in some kind of post-traumatic stress disorders as the effects of their traumas. Through presentingthe characters, in the novel, Woolf delineates the traumatized selves and identities involved in some sort of psychic fragmentation and disintegration that haunt inevitably their lives and respondtraumatically to their traumas, pain, and suffering in different ways.

Throughout history the consequences of psychological trauma and characteristic symptoms have involved clinical presentations that have had different names. Since the inclusion of the category of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) with the symptomatic triad of re-experiencing the traumatic event, avoidance behaviors, and hypervigilance, this entity has been a source of controversy. Indeed, some authors have denied its existence, even considering it a diagnostic invention. In this article we review, from the clinician's perspective, historical aspects as well as the development of the nosological classifications and the contributions from the neurosciences that allow the consideration of the full validity of this diagnosis as a form of psychobiological reaction to psychological trauma.

This study aims to describe the construction of memory and trauma in Ramayda Akmal’s Jatisaba using memory and trauma perspectives. This research went through four stages. Those are determining the material (source of data) and the formal object of the research, collecting data, analyzing data, and conclusions. Ramayda Akmal’s Jatisaba is the source of data. Meanwhile, memory and trauma are determined as the formal object of research. In collecting data, an intensive reading process is the next step for understanding the elements of the story. Then classifying words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs based on the concepts of a traumatic event, loss, and melancholy. All the data were analyzed through memory and trauma concepts. The results of the analysis show that, first, the memory constructed in the Jatisaba is related to traumatic memories triggered by a sense of homelessness and traumatic events when Mae became a migrant worker. Second, Mae becomes a traumatic subject (melancholia). Third, Gao becomes a reconstruction of “undeniably home” for Mae’s soul. Fourth, the reconstruction of memory in Jatisaba is an effort to complement the author's longing for a homeland.Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan konstruksi memori dan trauma dalam Jatisaba karya Ramayda Akmal dengan menggunakan perspektif memori dan trauma. Penelitian ini melalui empat tahapan, antara lain penentuan objek material (sumber data) dan objek formal penelitian, pengumpulan data, analisis data, dan simpulan. Novel Jatisaba karya Ramayda Akmal adalah objek material (sumber data). Sedangkan memori dan trauma merupakan objek formal penelitian. Dalam pengumpulan data, proses membaca intensif merupakan langkah selanjutnya untuk memahami unsur-unsur cerita. Kemudian, pengklasifikasian kata, frasa, kalimat, dan paragraf berdasarkan konsep peristiwa traumatis (traumatic event), kehilangan, dan melankolis. Data dianalisis melalui konsep memori dan trauma. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa, pertama, memori pada novel Jatisaba berkaitan dengan memori traumatis yang dipicu oleh rasa kehilangan dan peristiwa traumatis saat Mae menjadi buruh migran. Kedua, Mae merupakan subjek traumatis (melankolia). Ketiga, Gao merupakan rekonstruksi “rumah” bagi jiwa Mae. Keempat, rekonstruksi memori pada novel Jatisaba sebenarnya merupakan upaya pulang pengarang untuk melengkapi kerinduan pada kampung halaman.

In the course of several 21-cm observing programmes being carried out by the Leiden Observatory with the 25-meter telescope at Dwingeloo, a fairly complete, though inhomogeneous, survey of the regionl11= 0° to 66° at low galactic latitudes is becoming available. The essential data on this survey are presented in Table 1. Oort (1967) has given a preliminary report on the first and third investigations. The third is discussed briefly by Kerr in his introductory lecture on the galactic centre region (Paper 42). Burton (1966) has published provisional results of the fifth investigation, and I have discussed the sixth in Paper 19. All of the observations listed in the table have been completed, but we plan to extend investigation 3 to a much finer grid of positions.
